given an app using facebook graph API and a logged in user, is it possible to retrieve programmatically likes/movies/music of a friend of the logged in user?
I'm trying to achieve that with the graph explorer but I'm getting empty data.
Thanks in advance.
No, all friend permissions have been removed. You are only supposed to get data of users who authorized your App.

I'm struggling with Facebook Graph APIs: I'm trying to get all the people tagged in a photo but I only get myself as user tagged (also if there are more users tagged in the photo).
Is there any way to get all people tagged in a photo by Graph API?
Thanks

No, there is no way - only users who authorized your App too would show up. If a user did not authorize your App, he will not show up anywhere in any API call, for privacy reasons.
Scenario: logged with my Facebook account and using a browser, I'm able to see some photos and albums of some users which aren't friends of mine (with a privacy setting of public or similar) and quite all their past profile photos.
For example the URL
https://www.facebook.com/<userid>/photos_all shows those photos.
I want to replicate behaviour with Graph API but GETting
https://graph.facebook.com/<userid>/photos?access_token=...
Gives me an empty data array.
Same scenario using tagged or albums instead of photos
I've tried to use site scraping but FB website uses AJAX to populate gridview of photos, so It's very difficult.
On Graph API Explorer I've requested and use an access token with all permissions and also a debug access token but I'm still unable to get other users' photos.
It's possibile to get photos of users which aren't in friend list with Facebook Graph API? Am I missing something?
For privacy reasons, it´s not possible to get the photos of OTHER users with the API. Even for the authorized user, you need the user_photos permission.
Scraping is not allowed btw: https://www.facebook.com/apps/site_scraping_tos_terms.php
I'm trying to get logged user friends list, through Facebook Login with accepted permissions. As i understand it returns only those users who are accepted permission of the same app.
But, when i'm just opening https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ , choosing "Graph API explorer" and entering -> /me/friends i get just three random friends. Why is it so?
Can someone help to understand how to get all friends of a logged user throug facebook login? Or it's not possible anymore?
Thanks
It's all in the docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/upgrading#upgrading_v2_0_user_ids, and there are multiple questions/answers about the same topic during the last days available via the search of Stackoverflow, e.g. retrieve full list of friends using facebook API
If you are using Facebook API v2.0 /me/friends will only return friends that are using the app and not all friends. And there is nothing you can do to get all friends
If you created your app after 4/30/2014 you have to use v2.0.
Can anyone tell me if there are any fields in the FB Graph that list a users twitter ID if they've linked it to Facebook.
No, there's no place in a Facebook profile to provide that information, and no way to retrieve it either - you'd have to get your user to log in to both Facebook and Twitter using their respective APIs
